Automatic Curtain Opener - Bluetooth Remote Control Smart Curtain with App/Timer, Upgraded High-Performance Motor, Add SwitchBot Hub to Work with Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit

I was hesitant about buying these, doubting they would work as advertised, especially at that price point. But I'm so glad I did. They were very easy to set up and install on the curtain track over our sliding glass doors with our new curtains (also purchased on Amazon along with the track). These can be controlled by an app on my phone. You have to buy two of them if you want curtains that part from the middle, still a steal compared to automated track which goes for hundreds more. These can be controlled by an app on my phone. You do have to buy two of them if you want curtains that part from the middle, one for each side. Still a steel compared to automated track which goes for much more. I love that we can set this up to open and close at certain times of the day to keep the heat out of the room on really hot days. There are two speed modes, standard, which is pretty fast and shown here, and something called quiet mode I think which opens much much more slowly and quietly. I believe that mode is designed to light into a bedroom gradually in the morning without waking you up. The set of curtains shown here (also from Amazon) block UV light have a rich linen feel and look and cost about $160 for both panels, pleated, each 8 feet wide. The track itself (also from Amazon) was easy to mount. I bought enough to cover the full 16 foot width of these doors for $85. That adds up to $430 plus tax for an entire entirely new, beautiful window treatment that keeps the sun from fading our wood floor and rug in the morning .

The SwitchBot Curtain is one of those smart home devices that just makes life easier. I installed it on my heavy, energy-efficient curtains, and it had no trouble opening and closing them smoothly. Now, instead of manually adjusting them throughout the day, I have them set on a schedule to let in natural light in the morning and close at night for privacy. Setup was surprisingly simple, and the motor is quiet but powerful. The battery lasts a long time, but I have an outlet right next to the curtains where I installed this and will likely go that route instead of the solar panel. The curtain opener also integrates well with other SwitchBot products, making automation seamless. I have it exposed to Home Assistant and it works like a charm! For anyone looking to make their home smarter and more convenient, this is a great addition. Highly recommend!

It’s a pretty neat gadget! Straightforward to set up, making it easy to automate your curtains in no time. Programming the schedule is a breeze—you can tailor it to your daily routine with a few taps, like having your curtains open on weekday mornings and close in the evenings, or sleep in a bit on weekends with later opening times. The flexibility of the scheduling options is definitely one of its strongest features. That said, there are a few drawbacks. For example, requiring an account to use the app feels a bit unnecessary, especially when all you want is to control your curtains without the extra steps. It’s not a deal-breaker, but it does take away from the overall seamless experience. In terms of functionality, though, the device performs as expected, and the motor is strong enough to handle even heavier curtains. If you catch it on sale, it’s an even better deal! All things considered, I’m giving it a 4/5—good value with just a few minor frustrations. Although I strongly recommend buying this one sale

great to automate my sliding glass door curtain. easy to install and easy to use. can use the button on the wall or use through the app

I've had a set of these for almost a year, and they work flawlessly to open and close my living room curtains, which are fairly lightweight and unlined. I can easily set new close and open times in the app. In the past year, I've only had to recharge one time, and it was easy - the C cable plugs into the bottom (exposed side) of the unit, and recharging takes maybe a couple of hours. So I figure charging once a year is no big deal and very easy for the benefit of never having to manually open or close curtains that are behind a large sofa and hard to reach. Definitely WOULD buy these again. It's a little luxury that has made my life a bit easier. One thing, though - there is a noticeable place where the bulk of the unit shows up behind the curtain at the rod. It doesn't bother me.

love the way they work. the issue is they wont keep closing to the same spot. they stop short of the magnets and we dont know what to do to correct this. UPDATE -9-26-25 this seller is sending me 2 new units to replace the 2 i have that wont stop in the correct spot. I will update this review again to 5 stars if the replacements work. The seller is responsive and working to make things right. UPDATE- they have sent me 2 new replacement units and they seem to be working fine. The customer service from this seller is excellent and they are very responsive and sent the replacements immediately! I will definitely buy here again.

I was really excited about these smart curtain closers, but they were a complete nightmare to set up. They really need to make their instructions more clear, as we had to rely on videos posted by other people just to get these working. Once set up, they work, but only some of the time. For some reason, the left one (we have two) can't find the magnet. I will recalibrate, it will work fine for a few days, and then will stop short of the magnet again. I originally was going to return them, but the thought of taking them down and going through set up all over again was so unappealing I decided to just deal with the issues.

* Update* After 10 months of working ok it stopped closing the curtain all the way. I re-synced it, etc but it still didn't work. So I contacted support through the app and got a quick reply giving me some instructions which were things I already did. They also wanted a video of me trying to stop the motor with a pencil. I answered all their questions but denied sending a video. Afer almost a month and three emails from me asking for the status I got an email telling me to communicate via the app even though they send me emails. So I did and received a reply saying they were kicking it up a level. Still waiting. *Original review* I have a west facing house and the sun is pretty intense in the afternoon not to mention the heat that comes with it. I have insulated drapes on an eight foot west window that has to be manually opened and closed. Since I'm usually not home when the sun starts to warm up the house from that side I usually just leaves the drapes closed during daylight hours then open them in the evening. Not a major chore but it got old. Found this product and it sounded like it was worth a try. The installation wasn't bad but it could have been better explained. Fortunately there are videos available. My biggest problem was with the rod I was using. It's an expansion rod and the drapes have grommets. Even before installing this the drapes would hang up on the rod making it difficult to close; the grommets would flatten out when being pulled and drag on the rod. They include clips that attach to the top of the grommet and each clip is connected to the next grommet clip with a beaded chain. That keeps the grommets from flattening out. Problem was the clips would hang up at the point where the smaller part of the rod went into the large part. They also include a piece of metal to use if this is a problem. It makes sort of a ramp from the small to large pieces. Good idea but it didn't work. The only other solution was to replace the rod with a single rod, i.e., not an expansion rod. My rod was brushed nickel so I headed down to my local big box store and bought a 10 foot metal conduit and cut it to size. It looks exactly like my old rod. That solved my problem and the drapes open and close with no problem. I did have to re-calibrate a few times during the installation but it's easy. I made a program that closes the drapes at lunch time and opens them again at sunset. I haven't had this installed very long so it still catches me by surprise when my drapes automatically start moving.
